Objective rules:

In game - You can speak whatever language you want

In forum - You can only speak english (Unless you're posting in the "Languages" section)



^ These are the rules. In-game languages are flexible, though it's understandable that people get frustrated with communications issues. The forum rules really aren't. It's English, unless you're in the Languages forum.
Try this, Miranda.
Okay. This is done.

Before I lock this down, I will simply state that neither EME nor TERA have anything against homosexuals. There are gay characters in the game. You can tell from their stories, not from their appearance.

[STAKED]
BROCCOLI IS THE WINNAR
Confirmed. We did a giveaway earlier during our TwitchTV stream. Pets are planned for next week. :)
There are a lot of folks in NA who speak a language other than English and currently we don't have a plan for separate servers.

I understand that language barrier can be frustrating (trust me I know, my family moved to another country when I was in junior high school) but we're all here to play TERA and we are all a part of the community. We need to treat each other with respect and learn to play together. After all this is a MMORPG and how boring would the community be if we didn't have any diversity?
(As fun as this thread has been, I don't like the way it's going.)

Just wanted to stop by and comment on what a great thing you guys have going in AV! Now this is community! :D
Confirmed that it's back up. Thank you for your patience. :)
Only in its heart. In its heart it sings of the brilliant sunshine. xD
I love the plant one the best! Pets are planned for next week. :)
We're restarting the servers to resolve a login issue some players were experiencing. We'll be back up shortly, thank you for your patience!
Hello folks,

If you are having account-related issues, our Support Team is the only ones who can look into it help! Please see our Support Team and they'll be more than happy to help!
We brought it back up, please try exiting completely out of the launcher and logging back in.
The servers are up and folks are getting back on MT.
We're working to get MT back up as we speak!
I know it sucks, but the option was to do the stream with some people unable to login to chat, or not do the giveaway at all. I'm sadly not free to do a stream whenever I want as I have other job type duties. Same goes with Tae and the rest of the folks that join me on stream.

I hope that watching the stream was at least enjoyable even if you felt jipped by the chat issues!
Working on this, thanks!
The site chat seems to be having an issue, it took me a good 20+ minutes to get in after numerous tries as well. :(

We want to continue doing streams like this with giveaways in the future so hopefully we'll see you again!
We're not hardwired to end in an hour. Tonka does what he wants. No one controls the Tonka.
Hello Kaa and ImGea, we are actually seeing a delay in item deliveries. We're working to resolve the issue and will continue to update the status in the pinned thread: http://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/general-discussion/topics/45-Valkyon-Outfitters-Is-Temporarily-Closed
Hello folks,

We are currently experiencing a delay in purchased item deliveries and are working to resolve the issue.

While the En Masse web store is not being affected, Valykon Outfitters (in-game store) is temporarily closed.

We will update you with more information as they become available. Thank you for your patience.

Posts intended for dramatic effect are against the TERA forum rules.
Okay. There's a lot of strong feelings about this, but no one is saying anything new now. This thread has run its course, so I'm locking it down. I, and the rest of the EME team take these comments seriously. For now, though, let's move on with our weekend.

While we have heard of isolated instances of ping issues, we're not seeing anything systemic or consistent. I suggest filing a ticket with CS so we can help troubleshoot it and identify the culprit.
Customer support works hard. They blasted through the entire backlog last week and are turning tickets around within the day now. *applauds CS team*

Are you getting the same error message as in the OP's post?

Frosting on 04/05/2013, 09:34 AM - view

Elins are a race that people have the option to choose and play. How does that choice affect the character of the person who plays it? People who want to troll and be jerks will do so, regardless of what race they choose. It's discussions like these, that single out and hate on a portion of the playerbase based on the actions of a few, that tears the community apart and feed the trolls. Please, enough of this.


I think Frosting said it best, and this thread has more than run its course.

[STAKED]
What we need is the understanding that everyone here is to play TERA and no matter what class or race you play, you are a part of our community. I think the more helpful way would be to respect each other and treat them as you want to be treated. We will continue thinking/organizing ideas for our community and if you see inappropriate comments in game or on the forums, please make sure to report them.
The game is M-rated. The forums are not. Life goes on.

I don't see the Amani wearing it as a gesture of subservience, but think about the circumstances that would lead to her wearing one. Maybe a femani got injured in battle and can no longer fight or forge weapons. She would stick around the barracks and tidy things up while the capable soldiers do their jobs. This way she would be keeping the risk of infection at bay, and allowing the fighters more time to fight. So she wouldn't bow, like the Elin servants, but would give off a meaningful nod acknowledging her duty. (And she could still wear it as cutely as the Elin!! DX)
(As well as the castanic wearing it cutely. Castanics don't wear things to activate sex mode. They wear things because they like it.)

A well thought-out lore explanation? Outstanding!
Okay. This thread isn't about "Maids, Everywhere!" anymore and is about pricing and content, for which there is already a thread, so I'm going to lock this down and redirect the conversation there.
Those are new servers, and we wanted to give the players time to get leveled, gear up a bit before dumping them in the deep end of the pvp pool. Knoxxer has said their time of isolation is drawing to a close, so their status may change from [Single] to [Mangled and It's Complicated] soon.
Ooo this is a nice teaser! :)

i thought we were releasing stuff in the same manner as BHS and Ktera? if so then the weapon skins were supposed to come with the maids outfit :X


I can guarantee you they are NOT releasing stuff in the same manner as BHS and Ktera.


Correct each publisher gets to choose how to release each item individually. I think the weapon skins you are talking about will be up in a few weeks.
We have other topics covering this, so I'm locking this down.
There is already a topic dealing with this, so I'm going to redirect traffic there.
The support section covers this. Give this guide a try.


Valkyon Outfitters has added several new items for you to look through. Cover your eyes with your choice of room-darkening shades, futuristic electric eye, or snowboard goggles. No matter which you choose, all eyes will be on you.

For elin characters only, we have two bundles and a loot box that offer maid uniforms.

Princess Rida herself has stocked Valkyon Outfitters with the Maid to Work Bundle. This bundle contains all the items an elin working in Princess Rida’s household would need: Princess Rida’s Maid Uniform, a white maid’s frill, and a special Servant’s Bow emote, which only works for characters wearing a maid uniform.

In the Maid’s Loot Box, you’ll find Princess Arin’s distribution of uniforms to Valkyon Outfitters is less comprehensive than her more focused rival. If you’re lucky, you may find Princess Arin’s Maid Uniform, a black Housekeeper’s Frill, or the special Kitchen Dance emote.

Since luck is no way to clothe a household, the kingdom offers the Twice-Maid Bundle, which comes supplied with the complete set of everything “maid.” With uniforms to suit an elin in either princess’s household, the bundle includes Princess Rida’s Maid Uniform, Princess Arin’s Maid Uniform, the white Maid’s Frill, the black Housekeeper’s Frill, and both special emotes for characters wearing a maid uniform: Servant’s Bow and Kitchen Dance.
Yes. No. Probably.
http://tera.enmasse.com/game-guide/store-items/costumes#maid-to-work

Here is what we are offering with each bundle. You get everything in the twice-maid bundle - 2 outfits, 2 emotes, 2 head bands.

Are you going to censor them?


Just for those that ask for it. I will put you on the list.
The devs are looking into making maid outfits for other races as well but nothing is decided yet. This costume was a special case - these were originally just a small request from Japan that got more excitement then expected in other territories.

All that said our next big costume set will be for race and gender and probably arrive sometime in May.

Steps:
1) Shut down the launcher.

a) If you installed through HappyCloud, find the location and go to:

Stop being such negative Nancies.

Knoxxer said Thursday. Assume that Knoxxer is saying that, with the expectation, that, if everything goes "according to plan"(tm) that they will be there on Thursday.

The bigger question is whether to interpret his post as confirmation of direct purchase options for the maid outfits. That's a saucy and fun discussion.

Hello, folks. If you've not received the prizes, please contact our support team. They should all have been delivered by now.
Link to the equalized BG FAQ is added to the first post.
We are working on this and I'll provide an update when it is fixed.
I've added some more info about the Equalized Fraywind in the News and Announcement page here: http://tera-forums.enmasse.com/forums/news-announcements/topics/Spring-into-Battlegrounds?page=1
Let me try to address some questions and concerns.

1) Why this and not fix everything else omg?
Fixing everything else and having this event are not mutually exclusive, they are just not (unfortunately) happening at the same time. Maybe one day they will.

2) All the work I put into my gear!
Will still be meaningful. This event is.. an event, and won't last forever. Yes, the points are the same as the normal Fraywind, but there won't be any of the win/loss rewards or jackpot boxes from the normal Fraywind. And you also still have to win to get more points, like the normal Fraywind.

3) This Equalized Fraywind is SOLO QUEUE ONLY.
There will be a FAQ going up by tomorrow. Here are the main differences between the Equalized Fraywind and the Normal Fraywind (besdies the equalized part)

The following things are a bit different:
· There is no Desperate Resolve buff.
· There are no Winners/Losers boxes or Jackpot Rewards
· You can only solo queue into this version of Fraywind Canyon.
· Each team will have their armor colorized into April-Showers Blue or May-Flowers Red.
· To get the equalized gear, you MUST have gear equipped in the slot it is going to replace.

The following things remain the same:
· Overall objectives remain the same.
· Reputation Points and credits remain the same as the original Fraywind Canyon.
· Cosmetics can be worn in the battleground.
· Scores will be counted towards the rankings.

4) Anything else I need to know?

Some notable points:
* To get the equalized gear, you MUST have gear equipped in the slot the gear will replace. So if you want the weapon, armors, and accessories, you must have it all equipped before entering the battleground. If you don’t have a piece of gear equipped, you will not get that associated gear equalized. For example, if you forget to equip your boots, you’ll be entering the battleground with bare feet.
* This battleground has replaced the 15-man RAID version of Fraywind Canyon. You can enter it just like any other battleground in the battleground matching system.
Very cute, Nythy! :D
We're still planning for this week but it won't be tomorrow, sorry! :(
Let's consolidate the threads. :)

Equalized BG


For a limited time starting with the 19.04.04 patch, players can battle to find out who will reign—April showers or May flowers? All month, queue up by selecting the Fraywind Canyon—Equalized option in the battleground matching system.

When you enter the equalized battleground, your gear is converted into spring-colored PvP armor, weapon, and jewelry. This gear is standardized with PvP bonuses and levels the enchantment playing field. Your customization is limited to the crystals you choose. You’ll have the same number of crystal slots and level restrictions as your original gear.

One team will don April-showers blue and the other team will sport May-flowers purple. Your goal is still to turn all the pyres blue, kill your opponent, and reap the Bellicarium rewards.
And now the thread comes to an end. Please remember to remain civil and respectful to everyone.

Thanks!
The game is pretty big but if you are having download problems we have a bittorrent up that you can access here: http://tera.enmasse.com/download
We seem to have ironed out the issue, please let us know if you are still experiencing this problem.

Forgive me for asking this, but shouldn't a problem as big as the game unable to start be on the front page to bring it to people's attention? I would certainly consider putting a notice on the launcher, its the first thing people see anyways.


I agree it is a big issue right now, but for whatever reason it's only affecting a certain group of people. Most players seem to still be able to get in game at the moment.

@FaceKarma, The mixup was that players may be able to use other music (with permission and/or music under creative commons license), but we wouldn't be able to feature them on our websites because En Masse is a commercial entity. Because En Masse is a private + for profit company, just featuring them on our site is seen as a commercial act, even if we don't gain anything. So the permission players received would have been to use the music for the video, not for En Masse to feature them (= commercial act), which means we couldn't have shared the videos in an announcement like this. Also we want to follow the contest rules as only original works are to be entered for the contest. :(

I hope my explanation makes sense.. We'll do a better job of making it very very clear in the future to avoid the confusion.

Nope, you shouldn't have to wait 24 hours from when you've last claimed the eggs.

But yesterday it was a bit finicky for me and showed up the 3rd time I logged in again, although I got them right away today without having to do that. Hopefully they'll show up soon. (If not do let us know please, I haven't seen the issue pop up yet, thanks! :) )

Although this is the Off-Topic area of the forums, we need to follow the forum rules.

Let's create a post with more content than just links please. Thanks!
That's just live chat support. You can submit a ticket at any time.
They'll need to contact customer service.
I would start with re-downloading the client. I suggest the direct download or the torrent in the link I gave you. Once you're working with the current client, if you're still having login issues, customer support can help resolve those for you.
Nope. The action combat is integral to the TERA experience. Some skills do lock-on, but aiming is a critical skill in the game.

We are looking into this. Sadly, I don't have any answers I can share with you. :(
I haven't had the problem, but I'll shake some branches and see if Treeshark knows anything about this.
CS does not make such decisions lightly, or without reviewing the facts. You can appeal by contacting them again, but the forums aren't the place to find resolution.
*waves* Hi, Mystel!
Try following the reset password link on the launcher and changing it. I sometimes have to do this after a new password, type it in one finger at a time, hunt and peck-style, just to make certain I don't fumble-finger it.

After that, you have to contact customer service to help you resolve this.
Hello folks, just wanted to update you on the contest progress. Our plan is to publish the winners in the next 1-3 days. Our contest rules are what we need to follow and it's there to protect everyone involved in the contest.

something will be different next week. we'll see how it plays out.
I can confirm this is a known issue in KR as well as we are just waiting on a fix. No ETA on that, however.

We're working on getting the patch notes up on Monday but as far as I am aware, there is no plan for the atlas to become available to all characters under elite status.

If you find you can't report a player because they are not on your server you can simply make a character on that server and report them via that character.

My question to GMs is, if that character has not had discourse with the offending player, is the report still taken seriously?

Because I do this often.


We totally take them serious, but I can see where it would be hard for CS to track down the problem if Level 1 Bob.teh.Lancer complains about some guy in ToT or whatnot. I'll also suggest a comments field so players can provide some context to their report.
LOL - The code hunt is over. No more Illuminati-decoding of blue posts.

I'd say 500k+ or more.

Reason being is that you can easily spend well over 60k just on getting an item enchanted, rerolling stats, etc. Not to mention getting that item.


That's why when I shop, I use the TERA Express Card. Accepted at fine merchants around the Dream.
Let me check on this. I'm not aware of any systemic issues delaying delivery of the rewards, but we're still caffeinating.
For the record, blocking out names so we can't figure out who's the topic alleviates the callout thread issue.

Also, you're welcome to use the actual report button. CS does look into those, and I like the idea of adding some sort of conduct classification. I'll make that suggestion.
*patpat* Yes, they were the very last ones. :(
The last batch of codes just have been redeemed. Thank you, everyone!
A wild CM appears.

Her eyes scan the horizon for potential danger, but aside from the ever vigilant presence that she constantly feels, all is quiet. It's past twilight now and the stars are beginning to show up in the sky. This is a good time to roam about quietly in dark, for a flurry of activities started yesterday. There was no mysterious ticking noise or a red comet in the sky, but the others around her swore that they were spotted and swooped down on whenever they ventured out. What could it be? Whatever it was, she'd keep the eggs secret and safe.

She hops quietly for a few steps. Is this a good spot to hide the secret eggs? Wait, what was that? Did she hear something? But it's too late, it's a trap!


(We love you! ^_^)

Caiman egg thieves are dropping bronze, silver, and golden eggs in the world of TERA from Thursday, March 28 at 11:00 a.m. PDT through Monday, April 1 at 1:00 p.m. PDT. Find a caiman in the world and defeat it to get your special Easter egg! Eggs contain a variety of goodies like scrolls, masterwork alkahests, and even strongbox keys.

Even better, each day you’ll automatically get a trio of bronze, silver, and golden eggs—just for logging in! You can only get one trio of eggs per account, but you can gather more by seeking out the egg thieves.
Such a beautiful dream.
There are four words bolded in my previous post.

This is not a code.
Hey there was a thread that had screenshots of teams with less than 15 people in a team (10 or so). Where did it go? That is more concerning.

About the 20 man groups. It's not really 20 players in a team, what is happening is that 5 people drop, and the game adds 5 more people. BUT it doesn't remove those people from the final scoreboard. I guess you can prove me wrong if you counted all 20 players in the group, but I know that's what the game does for dropped players on the scoreboard.
lookingflyandspry
Congratulations on reaching 60! Looking fly and spry!

I'm kind of jealous. My main needs the kind of dedication you've got. Must level to 60. Sleep simply must wait. My hat's off to you!

Hi Stories - Welcome to TERA. Follow the white rabbit.

It's only for one character.

Quoted from the original event:

"TERA’s “No Sleep ‘til 60!” challenge encourages players to level through a world of true action combat, with special prizes for those who reach level 30, 40, 50, or 60. To enter, all you have to do is log in and level up!

The event will help you and your friends get ready for TERA’s exciting endgame, and is open to anyone with an active account. The challenge runs from 12:01 a.m. PDT, March 12 to 11:59 p.m. PDT, March 25. We'll check your progress after the event.

Here’s what you’ll get for your highest-level character:"

Emphasis added. Hope that clarifies things.

We make them up for each post. There's no consistent pattern or tactic.
Woooo, 15 minutes! That one lasted a while!
As Knoxxer the all-powerful posted elsewhere, the publishers won't all follow the same content release schedule. We'll release stuff EU won't, and vice-versa. Doesn't mean we won't get the same content at some point, merely that we follow a different path. There won't be any substantive gaps in content. Everyone will get sparklecornies if that's their wish, but no baraka tutus for me. /sob
Heya folks, thanks for making a clear and easy-to-read thread with good context on this. We don't exactly know why this is happening but we are aware of this and are looking into it.

We've never had an event that was received well by everyone. ex.) off peak time events, peak time events, day events, night events, scheduled events, random events, etc. We always try to vary them so that we can have lots of different people participating and to improve them overall (hence we're always open to the feedback). We'll continue trying to improve. :)

But enough on that, I'm always torn on making a baraka with the mech face because I really like seeing their faces too (some features look like beards)!
Something like 'when do we get weapon skins?' would have sufficed.
LordXenon on 03/26/2013, 04:58 PM - view
Are you really going that far to troll people, Knoxxer? If there really was a code there and it was redeemed, your post should say you edited it. You didn't.


Moderators don't have to have the 'edited by' when they edit their own post. This allows me to stealth fix my poorly written posts :)

And the point of today and tomorrows event was to just give out a few hundred of these total. Everyone will have a chance next week to either purchase from our store - and from broker sales - one that is permanent and theirs to keep.
I agree, and am not sure why but it really stood out as unique to me. It is the one I use for my GM face. I think the Baraka in general are unique not only in TERA but most games. I am hoping we get to reveal some more about them as a race with more content updates.

Yep, this is a known issue we're working on! Thank you. :)
I'm going to move this to the "Events from the Community" section as a sticky. :)

And thanks for making this!
Sorry, goodbye threads are against the forum rules. :(
Items are being distributed now. There are a lot of people so it'll take a while. If this day has passed and you still haven't got anything (and you are supposed to), please check your enmasse account page to see if it is sitting in "Unredeemed Codes".
There's no code in this post (i'm serious), but yeah, we're looking at ways to improve 3v3 participation, and BG participation overall.
A clean desk is the sign of a sick mind, or so the saying goes. Really can't argue with that, as I'm sure Minea would attest. It gets messier if I don't get my Mountain Dew. I need my caffeine. It is definitely mandatory. Minea is tougher, though. She's not an addict. I look up to her.



Here's my desktop background.
Let's keep the conversation confined to extant threads, please.
We wanted to do some giveaways before the planned sales and thought this would be a fun way to introduce the new EME logo to the forums at the same time. There are a bunch of items in the game that aren't necessarily for sale yet. The way we structure our updates is to avoid a ton of patches but 'unlocking' content. We can't just release all of the content at once. We have to continue to introduce regular new content to keep the game fresh and reasons to keep playing.

(no codes here)
There are already enough threads about the event. We don't need another.

I'm having fun.


Thanks we are having fun as well. (no code for realz) (no really) (you tried anyway didn't you) (what have I done...)
Sorry guys, there is no code in my coffee post. I could not resist.
This was an accident.

We'll bump up the channels in next week's patch, although the sheer amount may not be as much during launch.
Knoxxer could have maid the easter egg hunt some kind of cipher.
We've never said HOW many people can get codes. We're doing this over a two-day period to give people from all over a shot at these codes, and we're doing this only on the forums, as opposed to through a 3rd party site because we knew players were clamoring for these.

This is just about having a bit of fun as a community.
What an excellent use of the maid outfit Konalin. I appreciate your enthusiasm for the costume and glad that were able to decipher one of our codes. So far they have been pretty straightforward but that won't always be the case.

This reminds me of my recent visit to Korea. We spent our days walking through the streets of Seoul and started to realize just how many coffee shops there are in Korea. I am not sure why or what spurred this movement but it is truly remarkable. What is even more remarkable is the variety of coffee shops. For me, being a Seattle resident, I am used to having Starbucks everywhere. In fact there are 3 Starbucks on our corner alone. Each of these is part of a bigger building and not standalone. Anyways back to Korea. Their coffee shops are actually more individually owned or independent. So each one is a little bit of a gamble for what you will get in terms of quality and quantity. Plus the more locally owned ones tend to have less English. Not terrible - I have a basic level of Korean to get me through - but it can lead to some mishaps. I was talking to a colleague and he mentioned that there are even elite coffee shops that can charge something like $60 for an Americano. I can't imagine an Americano that would be worth $60 but I also can't imagine turning down the chance to taste one - if offered. But maybe that is the point. Price it high as a luxury and only those willing to spend the money will truly know the worth of the item.

So to tie this back to your maid shop - I am not sure that I can. I felt that this story had enough weight behind on it's own and this may be the perfect thread for me to tell it. I hope that it gave you some insight, some laughs, some tear,s and maybe just maybe some memories.
No code for you.

Seriously.
As you may have heard it will be the first week of April.

We are also running an event today and tomorrow giving some 7-day outfits away.
You can now level up your characters past the level. We are capturing data based on very early in the AM today.
There are already several threads explaining how this happy event came to be, so I'll lock this duplicate down.

We will give you the words in normal grammatical context. You'll put the codes together by subtracting spaces, punctuation, etc.

So, "what happens in Castanica" becomes whathappensincastanica.

Good luck with the rest of the hunt!
Another code gone! Wow!
We're monitoring closely how the servers are doing both with data and anecdotally. As of right now we don't feel that the two new servers are ready yet, but we feel that it is close.
I should really get out to one of these. Celestial Hills throws some great events, plus what happens in Castanica stays in Castanica, right?

Time to waste codes around.


You big meanie. :P
Holy cookies, your desktop is so neat! :)

(Moving this to Off-Topic)
As you may have heard we will be offering the maid uniforms for the elin for sale next week. However in the spirit of the coming holiday we have decided to place some Easter eggs throughout our posts today and tomorrow. If you see an En Masse employee post there is a chance that a phrase used within the post will actually be a code that redeems for one 7-day Princess Rida’s Maid Uniform and a 7-day Maid’s Frill.

For example I could be replying to a post about how sorcerer’s are way OP and I would reply with something like “Sorcerers are balanced perfectly and if anything the size of hail storm should double for PvP.”

The code here will always be a sequential combination of 4 words – without spaces or punctuation. In this case the hidden code is sorcerersarebalancedperfectly

How to enter a code?
- Go to https://account.enmasse.com and login
- Click the Enter Code button on the Right
- Enter the game code and click Submit
- Log into the game and go to your Item Claim for the loot!

These items are not tradable and can only be claimed once. If you claim this item and you are not an elin you are out of luck. Support will not be transferring this item to a friend.

Everyone is going to have a different opinion on the release schedule of our items. This isn't an area we can make everyone happy because items are subject to individual preference.

To further clarify, pets will be out after the Maid outfit which we said was the first week of April.
Today we have some really cool updates to the less sexy side of an MMO – the Launcher and the Forums. Halrath filled you in last week on the launcher details, but we listed them again below now that they are live. For the Forums, this is a big update that will help improve your time in the forums. These updates are going live as we speak so if you don't see them yet be patient they should be available by the end of the day.

As for the forum visuals they will be updated as well. We decided to release the new functionality first and work on getting the visual redesign out in the coming weeks. Take a peek at what we are working on if you are interested – these are a work in progress (straight from our designer) so expect changes and tweaks.

Forum List
Thread View

Now on to the actual changes!

Forum Updates

Forum Profiles
  • You can now display the character of your choice next to your name within the forums, including your Name, Class, Race, Server and Level. Go to your profile to choose the character you wish to display.
  • Please note that once you choose a character you can no longer select ‘no character’ This is a bug we will fix it.
  • Gained a level? Go back and select the character again to refresh it. We will work on making this automatic in the future.

Forum Moderators
  • We, as moderators, now have the ability to reply to a thread and insert that post as the #2 post.
  • If we have replied to a thread in this manner then you will notice an En Masse icon next to the thread.
  • Click on this icon and it will take you to the first reply by an En Masse employee in the thread
  • Posts will now automatically hide, or collapse, after enough people have reported it.
  • You can easily view the collapsed posts by clicking on it to unhide it or a moderator may choose to unhide it as well.
  • Moderators have been given some super-secret tools as well to make our jobs easier!

Forum Threads -- Auto Lock
All threads without activity will now lock after a period of time. This should help resolve some of the necro'ing of threads we have had issues with as late.

Forum Search Improvements
  • You can now sort by most recent or the closest match
  • If a user searches for, tera rocks, the search will look for "tera" "rocks".
  • If a user searches for, "tera rocks" in quotes, the search should bring back the exact sentence.

Coming Soon to the Forums
  • Visual overhaul as seen above.
  • 200+ new Avatar icons to choose from.
  • We are working on a voting system. This system will be another way to view the forums and participate in the community.

Launcher Updates
  • Username remember checkbox - Does anyone want this?
  • Deleting the cache on exit
  • Form focus brings cursor back to login form if displayed - last selected input field
  • Graphical clean up - aligning UI elements, etc...
  • Focus starts in the username box if it is not pre-filled, if pre-filled, it starts in the password box
  • Implement scroll bar on news/patch notes to handle overflow situations
It's a mod, so it's a no-no. Sorry.
Okay. There are numerous good suggestions and ideas, but there's a lot of vitriol and lashing out, so I'm going to lock this down. Please don't take this to mean the thread wasn't successful. I'm going to take some of these ideas and run with them.

Thank you.
I'm sorry, but it sounds like you need to submit a ticket with customer service so they can troubleshoot your specific situation.
There are numerous threads on this. Knoxxer and I have both addressed this, so I'm locking this down.
Our support section has this guide, which will help you troubleshoot your issue.
I appreciate the dialogue I'm seeing. Keep it up.
Thanks for the suggestions. There are some good ones in here that I shall be passing along.

They should be in the store the first week of April.


I really hope so Knoxxer..it was promised for March and hasn't been delivered yet. I am highly upset by this but I'm trying to keep my impatient arse in my seat and wait it out xD


I have a plan to make the available in March statement mostly accurate :)
Pet's will be after we roll out the maid outfit.
Let's keep the comments on-topic and constructive. Don't lash out at each other. BunnyRice sent me the details and I'm calling in a fire mission.
Report them. If you're concerned that reports go nowhere (They do), PM me with the details. Props for not making this a callout thread, but by all means, report them and give us the details. We'll track them down and deal with them.
Both EU and US do not region block each other. We know there are a ton of cross guild players and didn't want to inhibit those pre-existing relationships. You are free to choose either service in the UK.
They should be in the store the first week of April.
Nothing planned at this time. What other type of 'weekends' would you guys like to see?
The necro...it burns!

[STAKED]
Two necro threads in one morning? Gonna need a bigger stake.

[STAKED}
We're not going to segregate players. We will add new servers as the need arises.
It was a crash, not a reboot. No one got a warning. The servers WERE going to be rebooted, and that's what the earlier messaging was about.

Ops informs me that all servers and services look green across the board. If anyone's still experiencing issues, please let me know and I'll stay on top of the problem.
Also, TERA was NOT in closed beta in 2003. Hush.
The services are still coming back online. I'm waiting for the final "everything's up" message from Ops.
They're bringing services back online, but give it a few minutes.
It's not a DDOS. The forum service is tied to another system in restart. Treeshark's on top of it.
I'll keep updates going in this thread.
Yup, they'll be back up soon. You can also disregard the notice for AV/LT, since that will just be done now.
We are going to restart just the dungeon and matchmaking servers shortly on LT and AV. Actual gameservers will not go down, but there will be interruption to people in dungeons on those servers. We will message in-game when the 1hour countdown till this happens starts.
It's supposed to reset every Saturday at 12am, but it is not. BHS has been informed and we await resolution.
It doesn't.

[STAKED]
IntuitioN, I've asked about that and several other achievements. I haven't heard back yet though, so I'm digging deeper.
I'm afraid you'll have to open a ticket with customer service so they can restore it for you.
Okay, since we're not talking about the event and just jumping on a player, I'm going to lock this up.

I apologized, she's moved on, let's all do the same.
Let's keep the comments constructive and clean.

Arwydd, I totally did that not knowing there was anyone in the tavern. My sole goal was to avoid the main squares so people didn't lag out. The dracoloth wasn't set to aggro, and after I realized the goof, I went in and warned everyone, who came out and stared at the dracoloth for several minutes before attacking.

That said, I would not do so again. I apologize. In truth, we just wanted to inject a little surprise and levity to the dracoloth invasion.
Okay, that's the end of this noise.

[STAKED]
They couldn't be changed at the time. That has since been fixed.
The popori engineers report that login services should be getting back to normal. I had to close my launcher and log back in, but it looks good now.
Yep. This error just popped up and we're looking into it. Watch for updates here.
No, elite status doesn't affect the number of character slots you have.
No, we're looking into it. The servers are fine, but there's a login hiccup. Darn it, I just rebooted, too.
Good news about the caps and antlers: in the next patch, those items will be tradeable again. Feedback assimilated, fought for, and desired results achieved.

I, for one, can't wait to look festive in the future.


Skotao and Fox.Trot from Celestial Hills graciously volunteered to model with Eugene and Heinrich, our dracoloth friends. The result is a great image in need of some killer text. Got any suggestions?
Slubber on 03/22/2013, 11:25 AM - view
What EME should do is add winners/losers boxes to arenas and give them a chance of giving the pets, now that might get people in arenas and serve as a cool little event.


Oooh, I like this idea. *types up report*
We listen to opinions and feedback and then back it up with game driven data.

We don't use forums for statistical data because it doesn't always represent the majority. We use the forums for discussion and ideas that the production team uses as a basis to dig into the real numbers in the game.
Are you using the logitech drivers and software? I actually don't have them installed and it is working for me.
To each their own...
Each publisher can release the items on their own schedule. We plan on these items as well. We just released the armor templates but you shall have something to help clean up around the city in the next big item release.
Please keep your comments constructive.
We also have a bittorrent of our full installer. It may be a small patch or two behind, but it's mostly there.

I've just come here to say thanks for making a very civil and articulate thread on this topic. I honestly came here expecting much more flame wars but am pleasantly surprised.

And yes, that is all I'm going to say in this thread. Thanks! :)
Hey guys,

You guys should be good to go now.

Sorry for tardiness.

I tried to send a ticket, but I am getting an error 7.


I've corrected your error code 7. To check, log into the forums or account.enmasse.com first, and then click on the support link in the main navigation menu. You can then use the submit a ticket option.
The popori engineers have been hard at work on the launcher, and they let me take a look at some of their notes. They sounded too good to keep to myself, so I thought I'd share them with you!

New Features
• Deleting the cache on exit
• Form focus brings cursor back to login form if displayed (last selected input field)
• Username remember checkbox (Does anyone want this? -Halrath)
• Graphical clean up (aligning UI elements, etc…)
• Focus starts in the username box if it is not pre-filled, if pre-filled, it starts in the password box
• Implement scroll bar on news/patch notes to handle overflow situations

No firm date on the release, but I thought a bit of news might be welcome.
Mitsukai123 on 03/20/2013, 06:15 PM - view
Those sure don't sound like maid outfits to me.


I asked about this. Someone, who shall remain nameless, but I can tell you their name sounds like roxxor, admitted under intense interrogation that the maid outfits will fly into the Dream in the first or second week of April. Something about April showers bring maid outfits...

Anyway, that's the latest.
Edited by: Halrath 3 minutes ago - Reason: typo
I think this thread has run its course.
CS posted an update here.
The delays referenced above are exactly the type of thing that we are pushing hard to get rid of. For those that have had extended waits we are incredibly sorry and are working as quickly as we can to reduce the back log of tickets. In the last few days we have been able to address thousands of customer issues and have made great progress on the backlog. If you have submitted a ticket, but have not received a response yet -- we haven't forgot about you.


Sorry, Vewdo. I appreciate the question, but I'm not at liberty to talk about that information.
Looking through this thread, I think everyone's said their piece, and perspectives will not change on this. It's run its course, so I'm locking it down.
I poked Wallypark about these and he found an issue, which he's currently working on. I just wanted to keep you up to date.
I love the eyes. Very cool!
Korah, sending you a PM.
I'm currently looking into these new reports. I suggest following this thread for the current updates.
An interruption or problem. Sorry.
I'm sorry you hit a speedbump with your elite status. There's no system issue that we're aware of, so you'll need to contact CS so they can troubleshoot this for you.
There was a specific outage with instance matching for the battlegrounds not talking with VT last night. We tracked it down and fixed it by restarting the services earlier this morning.
This thread has run its course.
The battleground and instance matching servers were restarted on VT about 30 minutes ago.
The picture posted is not from our website. The language is not ours, but rather mmosite.

It doesn't seem a lot of the people complaining about the disappearance of the icon are not even founders, so it does seem odd. If you are a founder and the disappearance of this icon greatly disturbs you to no end, please PM me.

locking this thread now, it has run its course.
ETA 9:45am Pacific. Messages have been sent out to affected servers. Party matching and Battlegrounds will be affected momentarily.
We identified the problem (Yay!) and are working on the fix for it. I don't have an ETA just yet, but it's on the top of their list.

I asked the server team to take a look at that error message, Duune. I'll update you as soon as I can.
As there is another thread on this topic, I'm redirecting this there.
We're showing combat taking place in the battlegrounds, so I've got the Operations team looking into this. The specific error message helps. Thank you, Djevik.
They should be indeed.
I'm in Valley of Titans at the moment. It is not down.
Just tested it and put in a ticket myself, doesn't seem to be an issue on our end. As Naoto said, you could try using another browser. You might also want to try clearing your browser's cache and making sure you have cookies enabled.
Locked, this thread is almost a year old.

Treeshark on 03/20/2013, 11:11 PM
While I agree that having a toggle to turn this icon on and off is the best solution, it is unfortunately not one that is going to happen.

The founder's chat icon was not something we ever promised the founders, nor do we consider it part of the package. The inclusion of it was snuck in, as was the disappearance of it. We've discussed the possibility of putting it back in, but sadly it is just not in the cards.

I sincerely apologize for the removal of this icon without notice, but it has happened and will stay that way. It seems that this thread just wants to know what the fate of the icon is, and so here it is.


I for one am very dissapointed :(

Granted near the start there will of course be a lot of founders, but over a year or so they'd thin out, and being able to show you helped support the game at an early stage is a great thing to show off :(

I M dissapoint. :(


That's why we gave everyone a title and an exclusive mount :)
In many cases our servers are back up before we really have the chance to make a thread about it, explain and pin it. We try to be reactive in most user made threads since it's easier for us to respond to rather than to fork the conversation. If the outage becomes prolonged than more communication will be given. Any planned outage is always communicated about an hour in advance unless it is an absolute emergency.
These will go on sale sometime tomorrow. We'll also have accompanying images on what most races look like with each set on.

The servers were NOT brought down for this. The servers crashed, and it looks like the store is unintentionally previewing things.
I'm sorry, DeviDemon. If your character is still affected, you should submit a ticket with CS so they can unlock her.
The operations team informs me that all the servers should be up and the login services returning to normal. You may want to close all the way out (including the launcher) before trying to get back in, but things should be good now.
Let's keep the conversation civil, please. I know you're frustrated, but snapping at each other won't help.
There are several issues at the moment, including the ability to log in. We're aware of it and working as hard as we can to get you back into the game.
I'll pass along any information I can when I can.
We're working on this right now. As soon as I have any information to pass on, I will. Please bear with us.
We're consolidating in this thread.
Our CS team is looking into this issue right now.
We're looking into the crashes right now.
Wow. Okay. This conversation is heading into fire and blood territory.

[STAKED]
Okely-dokely.
Please keep the remarks clean and constructive.
Ah, CS informs me that they're working on this issue.
I'll send you both PMs shortly.
More importantly where are you??
There are some being spawned in 'safe zones'.
As this thread is derailed from the original topic, but still very active, I'm going to move it to PVE, since that seems to be the general area of discussion now.
Tokako, I'm sending you a PM.
Play what you like. You shouldn't have problems finding a place in the ranks, particularly if you know your class, know your fights, etc.
Why do we climb it? Because t's there!
Nicely done, Somentine.

If the guide doesn't resolve your issues, your best bet is to contact customer service so they can troubleshoot your particular case.

I love cheery endings.
Okay, I'm going to put a stop to this before the hair-pulling starts.

Discussion of moderation action is against forum rules, your friend will need to have this taken care of through support.

No, sorry.



With the rise in players, we’ve seen a rise in dracoloths around the world of TERA. They’re too big to handle alone, so collect some friendly fighters and head out to find them. They could be anywhere—but they’re dracoloths, so they’re not exactly inconspicuous.

Corpse camping won’t work on these things, though—once they’re down, they’re down for good.

Dracoloth Sovereign Invasion: March 20–24

Hello! Yes, maintenance is complete.

PVE servers are "Player vs. Environment" servers. PVP servers are "Player vs. Player," and involve much more player killing. Same content, but somewhat different focus.

As for your login issue, this guide should be able to get you back into the game.
JDB, I appreciate what you're saying. I understand you're unhappy, and no one is saying you don't have a right to feel frustration or complain.

Unfortunately, this particular change was forced upon us. Minea (who is currently unavailable or she would answer this herself) isn't any happier about it than you, but the rules change is why the deadline was extended.
Lagerzero, I sent you a PM.
It's probably not gone for good, but you'll need to file a ticket with customer service to get them restored.
This guide should help you, and yes, you can transfer to a PVP server.
It'll also be the last.

[STAKED]
Locking this down since it's been resolved.
Locking this down since I just sent him a PM.
Sent PMs to Bongwater, Deathlyz, and Alleykat.
We'll be going back to 5pm tomorrow.
I'm looking into this.
Okay. Question asked and answered (Thanks, Treeshark). I don't think anything else will be gained from this.
This is a very old bug that has since been fixed. When and where did you get this client?
The original plan was to put it on the elite bar, but it failed in implementation and testing. Then the choice was either to not have it in the Elite Status package at all, or just give everybody 1 for 30 days.

The limitations on Item Claim has already been discussed in this thread, so I won't go any further on that.

EME was not hacked. This is an individual account's issue. Since we've helped Jroc2689, I'm locking this down.
[STAKED]
This is being taken care of. These aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along, move along.
Spamming is against the TERA Forum Rules and is an excellent way to get time off.

I'm afraid not. The videos can only use TERA music. Sorry. :(
We're sorry you're still experiencing this. I know Treeshark is investigating the cause and working up a solution.
Validus, I sent you a PM.
It's totally illegal. You are sentenced to DEATH.






Actually, it's cool. It's the real you, doing your thing? We're fine with that. You hook up a HAL9000, though, and we'll have to sit down for a "chat."

Nope. Not allowed. Thanks for alerting us to this.
I don't think this thread has anywhere constructive to go.

Treeshark and his peeps are looking into why they didn't reset. I suggest watching this thread, as that's where he last posted.
We have been looking into buffs not resetting.
As the forum rules against necromancy were already posted, I will not do so again, but please bear them in mind. Necro bad.

But as the TERA Forum Rules state, that's a no-no. The information is out there, new players will find it.

Not much help if you want to use your old character, but i just came here (http://tera.enmasse.com/download), used the streaming download option and within 20 minuts I was playing a new character. No big deal for me cause i wanted to try a new class anyway. It downloads the first parts of the game, lets you start playing a char that is lower than level 10 and DL's the rest of the content on the background. Eventualy u will be able to get back to the + level 10 character of yours. Again, may be useless for you, but it worked out for me, maybe this can help someone.

This problem happends to me every patch. The only thing that solves it is to download the entire game. Sorry for my english, not native.


You can use the streaming downloader on existing accounts too. It just may not be optimal. We also have a bittorrent of our full installer up.
Treeshark, Wallypark, and Tonka will be streaming TERA this afternoon starting at 2 p.m. Pacific Time!

We will also be giving away some strongbox keys during our stream.

Watch us on TwitchTV
For those of you that have submitted a ticket over the last few weeks you may have noticed a delay in our response. This is not something that we want or are happy with. In order to process the back log of tickets in our queue, we will be making a temporary adjustment to our support offerings. Beginning Monday, March 18th, chat support will be brought down, and will return on Tuesday, March 26th at noon pacific. During this time, players can still use our submit a ticket option to receive assistance if needed. We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding as we work to answer all of your questions as quickly as possible.
To clarify, this is for ALL accounts, old and new!
I have said this before but... we are sister companies with Bluehole Studio. We both answer to the same board of directors - but we have different objectives for each company. Ours is to publish games in North America and Bluehole Studios is to make cool games.

Because those servers are new, and mixing new and old server would create problems with economy, pvp and all.


And releasing massive amounts of spellbind, or extensive alkehest via cash shop event doesnt influence the economy?

I dunno man, personally i know a crap ton of people on MT who would love to move to VOT if they opened up transfers to it.


VOT allows transfers from MT and TR, so let them know they can move away! AV and LoT do not allow transfer to or from them.
Hey, guys. This troubleshooting guide might help sort your launcher issues out.

But we do know. It's all instances but Nexus Traverse.


This is correct. All instances except the Traverse.
The permanent account bound EX-TRM mounts are currently in the store.
Those servers have never had transfers available to them. We'll open up transfers in the future.
Glad to hear that fixed it! To anyone else that who finds this thread, check out our FAQ for this issue http://support.enmasse.com/tera/play-button-unresponsive-or-greyed-out
Hey folks,

Thanks for the feedback! We try our best to have a variety of events so different folks will be interested, so we'll continue to have small and big in-game events of various types. Yeah, we'd also love to do some sort of PvP-centered event as well! (We had one last November and it was really fun!) Please feel free to share your ideas at any time with us or via PM, thanks all! :)
Every prize in the power level event is tradable.
I'm glad everyone got their lions now. There is a bug when you drag the lion to your shortcut bar, the icon won't display. It will still work, but it won't display the icon.
This is a known issue.
That's just a small portion of the entries, we got quite a bit more than what I expected so we're excited to watch them all (even if it takes a while)!

I was just letting people know who were worried about us not receiving their entries in this thread. :)

As for the winners, current plan is end of next week.
To address the issues we saw last night, the Tempest Reach (TR) server will be taken down at 10am Pacific to apply a server stability patch.

All other servers have already been pached.
It won't be on the forums because...security. I'll send you a PM.
I got in there once. Played blackjack all night with this guy named Jonah...
TERA is still our primary focus but we do have some some resources working on finding the next big thing - after all we started En Masse and built our infrastructure to publish multiple games.

As for Bluehole, they have yet to announce a second game. I think you are thinking of another developer for the game Bless.

TERA offers another weekend sale, but this weekend the savings are for elite players only. This weekend, from Thursday, March 14 at 1 p.m. PDT to Monday, March 18 at 1 p.m. PDT, elite players get big savings on spellbind boxes. How big, you ask? Thirty-three percent big! Our big boxes deserve the same big discounts you can get at big box stores!

There’s nothing like spellbind to lock down the enchantments you love when trying to get rid of the enchantments you hate. There’s no time like this weekend to stock up on these strife-saving items!


You don’t need to be wearing green to enjoy the Lock of the Irish weekend in TERA. All weekend locked strongboxes have the chance to surprise some lucky lads and lasses with 1000 extensive alkahests or a permanent “Me Lucky Hat” accessory. And because it’s St. Patrick’s Day, we’re making it an extra-long weekend—from the Thursday morning update on March 14 to Tuesday morning’s maintenance on March 19.
*patpats Roda*

Yes, dyed armor counts (if it's in green, that is!). Hmm, I'm not sure about eye color, but green hair probably will. We'll practice common sense. :)
Sent you a PM, Reion.
Only the extensive alkahests are dropping in quantities of 1000. Everything is a player trolling you. It also needs to pop up in the middle of the screen.

That being said, I'm locking this thread now :)
Locking per OP request.
Tiddymum,

I'm going to reply to you through PM, because I would rather not discuss account issues here.
Divinerage,

I actually saw your account. I'm looking at your account now. Unfortunately, you were a SUPER edge case, and it was all timing of your purchase and our script running :(.

Yours is fixed. Log out and log back in and you should be good.

Let me give a little explanation on this.

For the folks that were canceled today, you guys were all on the promotional elite when we transferred over from F2P. When we originally transfered into F2P, we gave you guys that had game time prior to F2P, 30 days of elite.

That 30 days of elite time is up and that's why you were canceled for your elite.

For the folks that had 5-7 days of elite after the 30 days, well, you guys shouldn't have had that ;). So that was actually a bug that we fixed. The items that were delivered to you, that shouldn't have been delivered either.

If you want Elite after the fact, you can go to store.enmasse.com and purchase the Elite subscription.

I hope this explains it.

There is an extremely small amount of players that this is happening to. We are looking into the cause as it is rather odd. Until then, if you notice this on your new level 1 character, please start over if you can.
It's not RNG :).

It does take some time to propagate. But it won't propagate while you are logged in.
Double drop rate weekend is "from noon Friday to noon Monday PDT".

And yep, the Me Lucky Hat counts as a green item! :)
Does this need a lock? Seems like it needs a lock. Keep it clean or I'll stake this on my next visit.
This looks really fun, thank you for planning this event! :)
Thanks for creeping me out... Dx
We removed forum signatures for a reason. I won't call them a cancer, per se, but they're not coming back.
As there's already a thread about this, I'm going to redirect the conversation there.

This is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this with the community! :D
Lock of the Irish is from the Thursday morning update on March 14 to Tuesday morning’s maintenance on March 19. :)
All I can really say is this wasn't a system issue and it's resolved.
Not sure what's up with that character, Lusho, but you really do need to contact support. They can get you sorted.
As noted, there is already a thread on this topic. Please keep the conversation going there.
Slickidiot, I checked into this. Sending you a PM.
Just clarified the Nexus Quest rewards.

Also clarified the new Champions' Skyring rewards.


This week’s patch contains big changes to the nexus to decrease congestion and increase enjoyment—tweaks to earning reputation, improvements to emotes, and the ability to preview costumes. Read the patch notes to see all the details.
As noted here, they do reset at 5pm.


Spring brings flowers, gorgeous weather, and brutal bosses with fat purses! We’re celebrating our good fortune with a long weekend of events in TERA, and you can get in on the fun. And because it's St. Patrick’s Day, we’re making it an extra-long weekend—from the Thursday morning update on March 14 to Tuesday morning’s maintenance on March 19. Whether you’re a hardcore dungeon runner or a high elf fashionista, we’ve got you covered.

Double Dungeon Drop Weekend

The bosses and baddies have filled their vaults with loot and plunder. Now’s your chance to take it back! All dungeons in TERA: Rising will have the double drop rate from noon Friday to noon Monday PDT. So, popo up and rain the pain!

Lock of the Irish

You don’t need to be wearing green to enjoy the Lock of the Irish this weekend in TERA. All weekend, locked strongboxes have the chance to surprise some lucky lads and lasses with 1,000 extensive alkahests or a permanent “Me Lucky Hat” accessory. So kiss that blarney stone and try your lock.

Catch Him If You Can

The legend of Eimhin the Prankster tells of a tiny figure dressed in green who wanders the hills outside Velika and scurries through the city streets. Rumors say he once pickpocketed Velik herself, then threw a three-day party in Castanica with her purse. The city watch has a standing reward of 50 gold pieces for his capture—but if you do catch Eimhin, he’ll trade some treasures for his freedom.

The hunt is on!

Details

1. Event Time

The hunt will take place on Thursday, March 14, with specific time slots for each server. All times are Pacific.

  • Lake of Tears: Noon–1 p.m.
  • Ascension Valley: 1–2 p. m.
  • Tempest Reach: 2–3 p.m.
  • Valley of Titans: 3–4 p.m.
  • Mount Tyrannas: 4–5 p.m.
  • Celestial Hills: 5–6 p.m.

2. Instructions

• Be logged in during the specified times and get ready to catch Eimhin! Decipher Eimhin’s taunts and track him down in Velika or the Velika Outskirts.

• Eimhin will hide 3 times per server within a one-hour period. During each round, the first three players to find him at each location will win prizes (double prizes if their characters are wearing green)! After the hour is up, Einhim will vanish.

3. Prizes

• Each time Eimhin hides, the first three players who find him will receive the following prizes:

  • First place winners will receive 125 spellbinds and 2 apothecary dyes.
  • Second place winners will receive 75 spellbinds and 2 apothecary dyes.
  • Third place winners will receive 50 spellbinds and 2 apothecary dyes.
  • All prizes will be doubled if the winning character is wearing green somewhere.

All standard En Masse Entertainment contest rules apply.

So don your finest verdant gear and keep a sharp eye out for Eimhin!
There are numerous threads on this topic. Let's not start another. Ask your question in there, please.
Our support section has a guide that should help you resolve this.
Please keep the comments classy and constructive. Personal attacks aren't okay and result in time off.
Hello folks, I'm caught up on other stuff (which you will find out today) so I haven't been able to send out the confirmation email after the weekend yet. I'd like to do it today or tomorrow, so don't worry if you haven't gotten one this week. :)
Unfortunately I can't ride cats because the movement makes me sick, so I need to stick to more stable mounts like a horse... But it'd be really neat to see a carriage that could carry more than one person! :D
Unfortunately, maintenance was pushed out until Thursday, so the server resets didn't occur. I'm sorry. I'm sure it's frustrating.
I'm sorry that CS hasn't gotten to your ticket yet, but their ticket queue runneth over. We're handling them as fast as we can, but please be patient with us.
As we're handling, as quoted by CS, "tons of in-game reports," go ahead and use the in-game report button.

And they're dealing with the reported player.

I see it's new fashion on forums, posting screenshots of random people killing random people. This is how these forums quality went down after switching to new build and style.


Callout threads/posts are clearly against the TERA Forum Rules. Since people aren't getting the message, some time off from the forums will give them the opportunity to read the rules.

[STAKED]
Just in case there was any confusion, it IS against the rules to bump posts.
When in doubt, don't callout. Report them. We'll take care of it.

In order to participate in the event, you need to be active in the event duration from 3/12 to 3/25.

On March 26, we will check the highest level character under your account and you'll receive the appropriate rewards in the tier. Rewards don't stack, it only counts one highest level character per game account.

Hope this clarification helps! ^_^

The event duration is given because you need to be active in TERA during the time period.

If you're already level 60 you will receive the prizes for level 60, as long as your account is active.

Hello everyone,

This week's regular maintenance time is changed so that we can implement a new patch. Instead of the weekly maintenance on Tuesday mornings, we will have a maintenance from 7 a.m. - 9 a.m. Pacific Time on March 14.

The following servers will be unavailable on Thursday, March 14 from 7:00 a.m. Pacific Time to 9:00.a.m. Pacific Time:

  • Mount Tyrannas - PvP
  • Lake of Tears - PvP
  • Tempest Reach - PvE
  • Ascension Valley - PvE
  • Celestial Hills - RP PvE
  • Valley of Titans - PvP

There will be no maintenance tomorrow morning (Tuesday) and this change is only effective for this week. We'll go back to our regular schedule next week (so maintenance on Tuesday, March 19).

For real-time server status, please refer to the Server Status page. Thanks for your patience!


TERAToday is a fansite created by Katou, offering articles, guides, and news. We sat down with Katou and talked about how TERAToday came to be, and where it’s going.

How did you come to hear about TERA and how long have you been playing?

I have a very long history with Final Fantasy 11, and since then I've always kept up with MMORPGs, including TERA. Although the game at release looked very interesting, I was unable to commit time to it due to a very busy schedule and only ended up getting a character to level 50. When I heard TERA was going F2P with the TERA: Rising update, I hastily downloaded the game client and started playing again!

TERAToday looks terrific and has a variety of content including player guides, news, and columns. What are your goals with the site?

When I had returned to the game for TERA: Rising, I found that many of the useful player resources were outdated. The guide authors had quit the game, and even though many players seemed to want to contribute updates to the guide, the limitations of forum posts restricted that. Thus TERAToday was born.

The primary goal of TERAToday.com is to offer up-to-date resources to players. The main opponent to this is the restriction of player-created content on forums. By bypassing the single-post nature of forums, resources posted on TERAToday are able to be edited by multiple users, or ownership of content can be transferred to another author. This allows guide authors to collaborate (if they so wish) on a guide, or for a guide to be maintained and kept up-to-date by various community members, regardless of whether the original author quits the game.

In addition to the constantly updated player resources, we wish to offer a place where the community can turn for all of their game news and update information. There is also support for articles written by players on whichever TERA-related topic they wish to write about, from skyfish watching to theory-crafting about how elins are the master race. Finally, I'm hoping to host and run large community events fairly often through TERAToday.

How has the community responded to your site? Future plans?

Of the feedback I've gotten so far about the site, it's been all positive, but it hasn't been easy to find people interested in writing articles or guides, or moving their current guide to the site. With that said, the guide authors who've moved theirs over, or have written guides specifically for the site, have all done an excellent job and receive high praise from users!

Going forward, I'd like TERAToday to become the greatest contributor of TERA information and news for players. In the future we'd like to have KTERA patch notes properly translated as they are released in Korea, so the non-Korean-speaking community can get a sneak peak at potential updates. Our goal is for more guides to be written, covering broader areas than just classes, such as instances or specific mechanics. We want to host and run community events, as well as showcase other events in the community. The layout and functionality of the website are flexible, so it's up to what community and content contributors want to create! We'd also like to continue working with both the NA and EU community managers in the future to bring TERAToday player resources and community events to the player base!

As we understand it, you are also looking for more content contributors. If someone is interested, how would they contact you?

The potential of TERAToday.com is endless, but we need the community's help to really create something amazing! As it stands now, we could really use a few more people interested in writing guides for the things we don't have yet: the missing classes, instance guides, and general guides on mechanics or game play that may be confusing. Interesting content such as role-play columns, lore, player experiences, or thoughts are all great too! Anyone with an interest in writing about TERA in any way, regardless of topic, should consider writing at TERAToday.com!

Any interested content authors can shoot me an email at katou@teratoday.com, or by using the contact forum found on the TERAToday site (teratoday.com/contact). I'm also on both NA and EU forums as (NA: katou) or (EU: katouprime). Note that none of my characters are named “Katou,” or any variation of it.

Anything you’d like to say to the fan site users? To En Masse?

I'd like to thank everyone who has visited the site or given feedback about it! I'm always interested in hearing feedback (good or bad, as long as it's constructive!), or ideas/suggestions about the site. The TERAToday site is nearly a month old, and has undergone many visual and back-end changes, and will continue to do so. I'd love to speak to anyone interested in helping make TERAToday even better!

I'd also like to thank En Masse for offering such a fantastic unrestricted F2P model for TERA, and hope that going forward, EME continues to listen to their players and community!


Thanks to Katou for taking the time to talk to us. We appreciate your hard work!
I'll look into this.
